Over the course of several visits, Rebecca has always had good luck at the Portobello Road market and wanted to go again. We got there relatively early Saturday morning, 9am, and the place already was bustling. By 11am it was grid-lock, and we were done. Again, however, it was a productive visit for her. For us, it was an interesting change. We'd last visited in 2021, when Covid restrictions were coming to an end here, and Portobello was just beginning to recover from a year's relative inactivity. Heavy rains and a flood the week before had not helped. We moved our collectible/brocante shopping attention to Camden Market. In 2024, I'd have to say, Portobello has fully recovered, and was, as in previous years, a hoot.

| Interesting church pop-up en route |
 |
| Almost everywhere you go here has interesting ghost signs |
 |
Street scene; it goes on a mile or more: mixed temporary stands and
permanent structures...food, souvenirs, clothes, crap, collectibles, and
real antiques... |
 |
| The usual curiosities |
 |
| On a side-street respite...the cat thinking "at last, all mine" |
 |
Very tempting...a beautiful art nouveau pitcher at one
of many shops in the Admiral Vernon Gallery; we also much
enjoyed The French Glasshouse, "Mouthwatering Galle and
Daum" |

| 11am...very slow going, time to move on |

We shopped there, as well. It was great fun, and I picked up a few souvenirs to bring home.
